Abstract
The Allowable Bearing Capacity of piles is generally
evaluated of a deterministic approach based on "Safety
Factors" applied to ultimate Base and Shaft bearing capacity.
Semiprobabilistic approaches are used in several Codes and
in Eurocode 7. At the moment the probabilistic approach is
used only in the area of Research.
Examples of the Reliability Index evaluation with respect to the bearing capacity of piles are presented in this paper. The influence of pile length upon reliability is highlighted.
